Support FC Somers Benfica Trip to Nationals

Congratulations to FC Somers Benfica who  won the US Club Soccer Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship and are headed to the National Cup Championship in Commerce City, Colorado in barely two weeks!! These 16-year-old boys have worked so hard and had an incredible journey this season.  College coaches have been on the prowl, and they have played their hearts out. Their efforts have really paid off. Many of them played all 90 minutes of all games thus far. These 10th graders have more heart than I don’t know who. Tired, sun burnt, and a little beat up they persevered and won! Today’s thriller was a 1-0 victory in overtime. Us parents could not be more proud. 

Several new players joined the team this year. They started out getting to know each other. Week after week they won, lost, practiced, played and fought hard - and figured out ways to claw their way all the way to the top.

This weekend they played four games in four days and won all of them becoming Regional Champions! Now they will be headed to nationals in Colorado July 19-23rd looking to bring home that cup!

We are starting this GoFundMe page to raise money to help fly, feed and house all 22 players, and coaches. If you have a 16 year old boy you know how much they eat lol. 

Benfica families, we also ask you to share this page with your friends and family. These boys have worked so hard. We are grateful for any size donation. 

So let’s go Benfica! Let’s bring home that cup. Let’s help these boys get to Colorado. Thank you so much for your donation. Good luck to everyone!

Sincerely,
The entire FC Somers Benfica Family
